ON OUR GENDER STRATEGIES
—“Women distribute reproductive opportunities conservatively (per demonstrated genetic, social, & economic status). And men are liberal in seeking reproductive opportunities.
What is interesting, though, is that women rely on markets (intra-male competition) where they have sufficient ‘skin in the game’ (have to pay a cost) & that men who cannot compete seek reproductive egalitarianism (radical traditionalist) and/or exit of market (MGTOW).
Even more interesting is that if we consider a domain where males pay a cost—politics via violence—then we observe a reversal in the perception of value: so that men distribute franchise (agency) meritocratically and women seek discounts on enfranchisement (egalitarianism) and subsidy to escape from contractualism (marriage).
In other words: humans seek decidability in domains where we pay cost.”— James Augustus
